“Green, healthy and smart all come together at the end of the day,” she said. “It’s really holistic thinking.”

After working for nine months, Schoenberg recently unveiled the home at a gathering of area home builders, real estate agents, interior designers and architects. Throughout its construction, she gave potential buyers and industry professionals a behind-the-scenes look at the Greenwich House through her web series Sabine’s New House. From basement waterproofing to botanical mold removal, the 25 YouTube videos document new building techniques and innovative products, according to Schoenberg.

“I asked myself as a regular consumer, builder and designer: How do I want to live? What would improve my life?” she said.

Starting from the scratch, she reconstructed the property with a lifestyle-enhancing approach. Healthy, green and smart-tech features permeate the interior and exterior of the house. Usually, homes may tackle one or two of these areas when outfitting the space, but Schoenberg thought it was important to take a comprehensive approach.

“There are lots of details you think through at every turn and in every place,” she said.

The kitchen, for example, uses an ultra-compact material called Dekton to reduce the presence of microbes, as well as minimize risk of cross contamination with food. The dense material, which is used for the kitchen counters, is made through a technology resulting in zero porosity.

“You don’t even need a cutting board, you can cut right on it,” Schoenberg explained.

The kitchen also includes a steam oven, which helps prepare foods in a healthier way by removing the need for excess oils and fats in the cooking process.

Positioned between the kitchen and living room, the Crestron Pyng home automation system exemplifies smart-home technology, according to Schoenberg. The tablet-based system controls everything in the home, from heating and cooling systems to lighting and security. It even lets you choose what audio you want played in a specific room of the house, or what shades / draperies you want closed. The homeowner can use the system to set different scenes and comfort settings throughout the home through an accessible touch screen device.

Thinking ecologically, she equipped the home with geothermal technology, sustainably forested wood and sealing homewrap. Due to site constraints and local zoning ordinances, Schoenberg wasn’t able to consider any wind or solar options. Still, she said the geothermal system was a great alternative as it taps into the consistent 50 to 60 degree temperature of the ground.

Throughout the Greenwich House, the hardwood floors also demonstrate the designer’s commitment to green homebuilding. Schoenberg worked with the Connecticut-based Hull Forest Products on sourcing materials through sustainable forestry. The company works with landowners to protect and preserve their forest lands, she said, and removes timber in a way that does not damage habitats or the entire ecosystem.

Another unique feature is the homewrap, a material used to create a complete seal of the home. By using this product, Schoenberg expects to reduce energy loss through the roof and walls of the house by over 40 percent. This material not only improves the efficiency of the home, but also protects art, furniture and other objects from solar or UV damage.

In terms of health, Schoenberg thought it was essential to minimize the home’s exposure to dangerous odors or mold. So, she turned to a unique paint from Sherwin-Williams called Harmony Paint, which covers the interior walls of the home. The paint helps reduce common indoor odors, whether from your pets or smoke, and helps rooms stay fresher. She similarly equipped the space with a vapor fogging system to cut down on mold. Powered by thyme extracts, the system fills the Greenwich House with a spa-like fog, which touches all nooks and crannies of the home and even absorbs into concrete walls and floors. Through this process, it kills mold and prevents it from returning.

Priced around $4 million, the high-tech Greenwich House has already received interest from prospective buyers, but Schoenberg said she plans to officially put it on the market soon.
